Today its time for Student Union day!
We are in Nymble at the 3rd floor, together with all the other associations and chapters. Drop by anytime during the day just to say hi or if you have anything that you want to ask about!

Great news ! Team Framkallning can now develop E-6 process for diapositive in their lab at Mariatatorget.
That’s really a fantastic news for us film lovers as it’s become very expensive and even very hard to find a lab that can handle E-6. The price is 125:- per roll including VAT/moms (100:- without). Yes, it’s still expensive but at least it can be done locally.

Their processor has a long story, in fact it comes from Diabolaget which was the last lab in Stockholm handling dia. At the beginning of the year Diabolaget decided to close all their film activities and sold all machines. This one was bought by Crimson who, in the past, were sending the dia rolls to be processed in Jönköping. Though they bought the processor, they had no real plan to relaunch the activity. Finally it ended up in Veikko‘s hands, there couldn’t be a better place for it !

We had some plans to process E-6 as well in our Knepp lab but it is quite complicated without a processor. And those are a bit tricky to manage. We might do some experiments in the future but for now Team Framkallning is the best alternative for high quality processing. Also keep in mind they offer a student discount of -25% on conventional development, including C-41 but excluding E-6 dia. So we warmly recommend it for any color development. For our members, also say you are from Knepp !

At our annual meeting we decided to use Slack as a new way to communicate and interact with all our members.If you are a lab member you should already have received an invitation. If not the case and for all the other members feel free to join us here.

For those who don’t know Slack, it’s a platform becoming very popular now and it has a lot of cool features with groups (channels), archives, an excellent app on mobile and you can use it from desktop as well. With this we almost don’t need mail or SMS anymore. Don’t be afraid with the app, it’s very easy to use and you can turn off all the notifications if you feel disturbed, but it would be great if you subscribe so we can get in touch easily 🙂

The main channel (called #general) is meant to be opened for any member. Feel free to write anything about any topic there. I also created a channel #labb for all questions related to the darkroom (chemicals) or digital room (printer, ink, scanner, …).

The container for D76 developer has been refilled. As a reminder – unlike the fixer – this should only be used once. Please dilute it with water in 1:1 proportion (e.g. 150ml D76 + 150ml water for 1 roll) and follow the 1:1 timings for development. 3.8L is in the container so this should last for 25 rolls (135).

New fixer has just been prepared. We take the occasion to remind you the FIXER SHOULD NOT BE THROWN AWAY. The amount of available fixer should not lower as it currently does. The fixer can be easily reused for 50 rolls. Note how many rolls you have used on the whiteboard, count +1 for small format, +2 for medium format.

We also want to remind our members that Knepp doesn’t have any personal to clean the room. PLEASE KEEP THE LAB CLEAN! There is a vacuum cleaner and tools to clean the floor. It is the responsibility of every member to leave the lab in a pleasant state. Thank you!
